This man wasn’t murdered. He was stopped.
If he burned my house, I'd have killed him the next day
Exactly. For the morons who say “it’s still wrong!” I say “I should have happened sooner”.
@@camibajek2286 Agreed!! For the ones that say "It's still wrong", those are the ones that it didn't happen to them or their family(s). This man was a bully, the cops would NOT do anything about it, so the towns people handled their own business!!
Society takes care of itself.
Justice was served.
Sounds like he was found guilty by a jury of his peers and subsequently executed...
Exactly!
I I meant quite the contrary
Pretty much. But he was a scum bag so go riddance
Man who goes around threatening and occasionally shooting his fellow townfolk ends up getting shot by those very same townsfolk. Gee, who could ever have seen THAT coming?!
McElroy's buddies who provided alibi's should have been taken out too!
How anyone can act like his death was anything but deserved is beyond me. It actually sickens me a little that he was allowed to kidnap a child and marry her, and nobody stopped him until a man's life was at risk.
My father was born and raised in Skidmore. He remembered this guy when they were growing up. I spent many summers in Skidmore and it was a sweet little town. It’s sad to see the town now-I haven’t been there in many years. My grandparents lived there until they died…and they never said who killed him but everyone knew.
"Murderer walking freely in Skidmore'? More like a hero walking freely in Skidmore.
It may have been the parish priest, he got weigh down with the woes of the townsfolk hence the code of silence.
@@MrCsifan55 the Priest exorcized a demon out of that town.
Sometimes that's just what it takes to clean up the town; someone with the courage to set the people free from a tyrant.
Exactly some sob just need killing.
You've got that right. This town did everything they were supposed to do, but the system failed them.
I seriously don't believe they planned it. I think the circumstances just presented an opportunity and two or three went for it. Once it had been done, people just felt relieved.
IIRC, the truck just sat there, no one hurried to report it. It was in their best interest to not say anything.
I’ll bet Skidmore’s crime rate dropped 100% that day.
I'd say 99.9%
There's the occasional jaywalker out there. That's about it.
Probably the next day actually since there was an unsolved killing on this day.
He said the town was well known for other murders this one just stood out
You will never be able to get fully rid of Crime
Not far from my city
If they truly want justice.....let this case remain unsolved.
It will be.
RE-OPEN THE CASE AND YOU WILL SEE HE WAS INNOCENT OF BEING A VICTIM OF THAT TOWN, HE WAS HATED AND ABUSED AS A KID FOR BEING AN IMMIGRANT HERE IN AMERICA,.......MARIUS(PUNK RULES).
He was a bully who tried to kill an elderly man. He was "sitting in his truck", yes. AFTER he was causing trouble being inside that business. He was ordered to stay clear. He was asking for it.
He was asking for it, and he finally received it. He should have gotten it much sooner.
I wouldn’t call that a murder. More like self defense on behalf of the town.
You called it right.
It’s practically community service.
I have to agree.
Yes ma'am ..
Vermin extermination.
It wasn't murder.
Ken committed suicide and he just didn't know it.
Amen
lol
I'll go with that.
Yeah,... suicide by multiple gun shots. Tragic! Truly tragic.
The man who shot Liberty Valance.
Sounds like a community had a chronic problem that wasn't solved by the officials, and they took care of it themselves. In this modern day, perhaps we need more Patriots like that in our society, especially with the two-tiered system of justice we now have here in the US.
Well,said to my late viewing of this video!
The man had a DEATH WISH!!!!!
My granddaddy was a truck driver and was taking a load to the store in which McElroy shot the owner later in the day. McElroy acted like his truck was broken down, and my granddaddy stopped to give assistance when McElroy tried assault my granddaddy. When my granddaddy arrived at the store, McElroy already wounded the store owner.
When the Sherriff / courts won't do their job, the American people will.
Yeehaw.
And that they did, shoukd have been done sooner. O.K. Corral style, he woukd have been Ike, 'dont shoot dont shoot' priceeds ti run and hide then get a gun and start shooting. A coward and a scourge on a once beautiful american small town
Just found out there have been a bunch more mysterious deaths since his murder. Trying to keep people quiet?
Agree 👍🏼
Unless we're talking about a rigged election
Sometimes it's not homicide, it's just pesticide.
I believe that I would get along very well with you. Well said.
Bravo! You just said a mouthful.
Every town needs a can of Raid.
This!
The townspeople should've gotten a ticket for littering. Leaving that trash on the ground...
I would go there and walk around, no problem. The citizens finally after decades of being let down by the law, made it safe to walk around in.
I’d say this is misapplication of the term “muderer”. Are we as law abiding folks supposed to just put up with this type of behavior, I say not. He got what he deserved
sadly thats not our job unless we are wearing the badge. otherwise we are just as bad as the dude who got killed. plus in todays world. we would be arrested on the spot for stuff like that
@@jackmagnium6115 The law wasn't doing anything, so the people decided to deal with the problem. The problem got solved very quickly.
I met a old man from skidmore once. He said “before you ask I was hiding under the pool table like everyone else.”
That had to be the biggest damn pool table, because half the town was hiding under it !!!
@@JohnH20111 Hey, they were playing poker and couldn't be bothered to fold so early on
@@JohnH20111 that’s literally what the sheriff said when the witnesses said that. I live in Missouri, so I’ve heard about some stuff.
@@JohnH20111 🤣
@@JohnH20111 😂
Imagine being hated so much that an entire town protects the killer, not because they are afraid of the killer but because they are thankful it happened
As I understand the ORIGINAL story there were dozens of men all firing into that truck. How else hundreds of bvullet holes??????
The whole town HAD HAD ENUF A THOUSND TIMES OVER.
It wasn’t murder, it was preemptive self defense.
They're not afraid of the people that executed Ken McElroy, they are proud to protect them for saving their lives and their families lives.
Gentry County for ya
I don't see a problem with it. At all.
I love how you talk with a respectful tone
Love the name luv.
Kudos to the people of skidmore for solving a problem that law enforcement wouldn’t/couldn’t
Sounds like he got what was coming to him. His wife is lucky she's still breathing. I have a lot of respect for the people who killed him and kept they're mouth's shut.
Pretty impressive really
Agreed.
She's dead now
notice the wife never told either you know she knows
@@jessicaquick6411 I totally overlooked that. I don't think they asked her either which is odd now that I think of it.
There is no real value in depicting McElroy's killing as a tragedy. His life was a tragedy, and those folks took the trash out. They took him out of their misery. Good riddance.
the real tragedy is how the aftermath (the media was obsessed with this for months) killed the town.
So i guess it was a comedy with the happy ending
@@radrcer No, just an example of getting what you give.
Agreed. This attempt at making McElroy seem like a victim of a bad childhood and a TBI is unnecessary
We need to take out all of them crossing the border like that
This man sounds like my grandfather. He was a huge man, 6'6 300lbs an the entire town was afraid of him, even the police. He was beating my grandmother one day an the neighbor called the cops. Once they got there my grandfather walked out on the front porch with his shotgun an told them they better leave. He then fired 3 shots at them an their cruiser. The cops left an came back the next day with state police. Was only charged with assault which was then dropped due to no witnesses coming to court. Its crazy how it was back in the day.
I say B.S. He shot at the police and at their car and they just left? Yeah, right.
@sandytinky I believe him. Alot of cops are cowards. They won't go to most calls because they are scared
@@sandytinky I live in Missouri and know people in many of the small towns. Yes, there are people the local cops are afraid to confront, that's why they call in the state police. My ex-girlfriend was a county cop, and they used to get called in all the time to a local municipality because the city cops were afraid to do anything. One thing you have to remember - cops have private lives, homes, and families just like anyone else. And in a small town everyone knows everyone.
"Its crazy how it was back in the day." You mean back when we were "great"?
Somebody deserves a medal 🏅
Everyone else can have a participation award😂
What did he expect. Even a poor stray dog eventually gets tired of being kicked and bites back
Isnt that the truth, he earned the hate that sealed his fate!
I'm surprised it went on as long as it did in all honesty. Surprised that some didn't get together and firebombed his house late one nite or something
@white good point! I was trying to find a suitable analogy to make a point. Best I could come up with at that moment
That's exactly what happens when justice fails... oh well
@@mrhydenotdrjekyll yeah this is kinda true. I think a lot would really ride on the location. In skidmore I'd have to agree. Some places though I don't think many would have the collective nerve to do such.
He wasn't murdered, he was executed for his CRIMES... and he deserved it.
Yes
@2Words 1Finger Just his retirement pension for a lifetime of scumbaggery!
Thomas Short yeah I like how that sounds
Agreed!
Yes sir
Wow, what a story! I had never heard about this. I’m a truck driver so I go through Missouri quite frequently. From what I gather, this guy was a creep who terrorized these people and kept getting away with it. I think they felt that if the “system” wasn’t going to help them, they would take matters into their own hands and that’s what they did. I can’t say I blame them. Great video. 👍
I think its the best thing that could've happened to him. He was let go all the time so somebody had to do something. I have always loved the end of this story.
It wasn't murder, it was justifiable homicide.
It sounds like the people there felt safer after Ken McElroy was killed. So, they can't be blamed for not mourning his death. If the authorities would put tyrants like McElroy away once and for all, there'd be no need for vigilante justice.
Debbie Brown I agree
@@debbiebrown4420 We had a fella like that in my town. He had a gang of thugs and he would go around beating people up, he sold drugs, traded women and stole all the guns, jewelry, pills and electronics he could carry off. He would beat up his elderly stepdad and take his social security money. One day his stepdad had enough and he shot him in the chest with a 22 pistol. This happened in town and he was alive walking around when ems got there. They made sure to take their time getting him to the hospital so the four minute ride took 45 minutes and he was dead when they got there. The band of thugs made threats to the old man who shot him so he spent some time in protective custody until he was relocated but he never served a day. Many people wanted this thug dead and the old man just did us all a favor.
@@ForgottenHillbilly I'm glad to hear the ems stalled to avoid saving the bastard's life. He was another one people would be better off without.
It was self defense, not murder.
WHEN A GOVERNMENT FAILS IT'S DUTY,
"WE THE PEOPLE" HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT IS NECESSARY.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
@@briani3798 ever heard of the death penalty? The government “murders” people too. There has been multiple cases where people who got the death penalty were proven innocent years later, and the real criminal is still running around free.
Well said there HOOT
@@briani3798 believe what u want there skippy but I've watched many videos on the dude wasn't any good in him what so ever it all comes down to a simple old analogy you reap what u sow
AMEN !..
Mmm. Frontier Justice. That would be what really needs to be done to Many well known names always on the Tel-Lie-Vision these days from politicians to computer Geeks now virus experts and Take Back Our Country.
This is a story of greatness. We need more of this
I haven’t stopped watching your videos since I started this morning. I hate that I’m so late finding your channel, but glad I finally did. Love your content!
It’s not murder if it’s justified. The guy engaged in child molestation
Seemed he got away with a lot. The town had to deal out its own justice.
Was also 47 dating a 24 year old when he died. Weird af
@Carlos Navarro never said it was illegal, said weird. Plebs on yotube always tryin to argue.
Indeed
@@donc7984 His first wife was 12 and he was around 40 when he started "dating" her
This was not murder. This was justice.
When the Law fails the people, the people will take the law into their own hands!!!!
Your content is always fun to watch. Your calm, clear and stick to the topic. 👌🏻
I think when you’ve got a small town dominated by an evil man who isn’t afraid to walk up and shoot you, and then get off at trial, you’ve exhausted all avenues and it’s time to take matters into your own hands. My guess is after 40 years that person is probably dead anyway. 🤷🏼♂️. Really creepy town, seeing no one out and about and only a couple of vehicles during the whole video.
They didn't "murder" McElroy. They applied justice.
The town simply returned a defective product to its manufacturer.
Very nice👍
I'm a gonna use that one.
Lmao, poetic!
Great analogy.
HA HA HA HA!!! GREAT!!!
Its like a modern day Western where the town finally stand up to and kill the bully.
It’s beautiful to know that everyone without even talking to each other knew not to say shit about who killed that scumbag
The whole town was in a "domestic violence" situation with this creep, which they could see no way out of. He pushed them too far
Absolutely! He was getting worse and worse, escalating the situation to the point that the townspeople saw no other choice. I live in Maryville, which is the county seat, thus the sheriff's department is based out of here. We're about a half hour away (maybe a little closer), so it takes a while for the sheriff's department to get an officer on site, whenever there was trouble, and McElroy took full advantage of that.
Sadly true. He drove regular people to murder.
Yup, just like the guy who stole from ALL OF US, old crazy joe will go too far & it’s coming for him too
if the dementia doesn’t get him first.
@@ArnoldZiffle-jw2mv Can we not bring modern politics into this? They have literally no place in this video.
@@ArnoldZiffle-jw2mv Not the subject matter. Joe stole nothing
There is a hero walking the streets. Not a murderer.
Albert Munkey stop lying
Amen!
@Big D Ron You have never pulled a trigger with the intention to end a human life. Takes a bit more courage and resolve than you think. I promise.
@Big D Ron Taking life is not something to laugh at. When it must be done, it is not something to "lmao" at , as you say.
Big D Ron Street Justice. Rest in hell ken McElroy
Goes to show that bullying people never end well..
I’m not big on comments, so please apply what I am about to say to every video… I love the way you bring and overlap of history and now!! You do it all respectfully and humbly.
Your research is great!!There is a strong moment for the “scars” you see. They are the past still there but now. I really dig your work!!
You know your town’s got value when there isnt a snitch in sight
💢💯💢
Old school
Right ??? AMEN TO THAT !!
@@jamesscimone1447 sometimes it back fires like in the black community, they wont say who is doing the shootings and they are increasing
They scared the shooter get them
Im from Missouri and McElroy got what was coming to him. That man was a despicable human being.
I remember when this happened. He terrorized Skidmore! He was served justice.
I remember when this happened, it was considered a case of "small town justice" and nobody I ever met thought differently...
@@timnewman1172 I lived in NorthEast Kansas when this happened. There were so many stories of what he did to the residents of Skidmore. It was small town justice. People can only take so much.
@@jeannebrauher-trible4869 I grew up in Iowa, our local Veternarian was from near Skidmore & knew many people there...
I was around this man. Let's say this, he took a 14yr old to bed till he got her pregnant, then basically loaded her into his truck, her dad be damned. This man didnt fight with words or fists, his weapons talked for him. He actually shot 2 people and got away with it.
I watched that 60 Minutes report when it aired. All I could see was a town at the end of its rope. The justice system had failed them so they took it into their own hands. it was either continue to live under a tyranny or remove the tyrant. I very much doubt that anyone was coerced into silence.
Apparently Kenneth Rex McElroy used to say, 'no witnesses, no crime' when intimidating witnesses to his own crimes. His own words turned back to bite him.
who ever rid this town of this horrible person has passed away by now, may they rest in peace.
If they haven't passed away, I hope they have had a every happy life for helping so many innocent people with one act of kindness.
@TRUTH _ I agree, what a nice thought.
I graduated nursing school the year this happened I was 24 I still work full time as a nurse and can out work those 1/2 my age why would you assume the shooter is dead?????
@@kathyharmon2093 looking at the 1981 news film most of the people in town the day of the filming looked to be about 30-65 and it being a country town, it hard to believe that natural causes, car accidents and farm accidents didn't cause the deaths of most if not all involved.
Where is his widow now? She would be around 65.
It feels so weird realizing 1980 was over 40 years ago😂
This right here! Insane
Right, feeling old along with you.
😭😭😭
I know... I kept thinking it took place in the 60's. But yeah it makes me feel old as dirt when I realize that was 40 years ago.
I know this makes me feel old because I was born in 1980 SIGH.
Did the town also get rid of Mackleroy's friends who helped him escape charges?
They probably got the hint and packed their bags.
interesting reporting from your side and how you cut in the older clips!
thank you for this!
The Justice System let these people down. I guess they did what the system wouldn't.
But the important thing was that the judges, prosecutors, cops, and that dirty defense attorney all got THEIR paychecks and pensions. Thats all that counts !
Since when is bullying a sentence to death
@@g6ob812 when its gone on for 30yrs without anyone being able to stop it. The law didn't protect those people from him yet you think he should be protected by the law? foh
@@g6ob812 when people get the idea it's you or them.
I grew up near there that POS got what he deserved, they did not tell all the dirty crap he did to people around there.
As we say here in Tennessee,, " He needed killin' ". The law wouldn't do anything, so someone had to.
It's definitely happened here in East Tennessee.
I'm from Tennessee, and I agree.
Also from Tennessee hang em high
John Wayne always said that too. "Only killed 16 men in my life but they all needed killing."
If only the creatures that killed Channon Christian & Chris Newsom were extended the same courtesy as this guy, with Gary Christian taking the lead.
Thank you for the story, and the tour, much appreciated
I've been through Skidmore countless times on the way to visit family, and I can confirm the locals around there absolutely do not mess around when it comes to looking out for one another.
The bully deserved it and I am proud of every single one of those townspeople. Leave them alone.
@XxiranianxX KiddoXx in this situation ill happily advocate for murder. if the legal system fails that badly then any action by the people to protect themself is justified
@XxiranianxX KiddoXx im german. the principle of "if the government fails to protect its people its with a community to protect itself" is not a american exclusive concept and not a bad one either.
@XxiranianxX KiddoXx is that a chalange? because now im going to just because of that
Agree. They did the right thing.
@@yowtfputthemaskbackon9202 "Live by the sword, die by it.." -Jesus Christ....Ken Rex "Assault and battery" McElroy found out EXACTLY what that meant.
Bullies like that get what they deserve. You can only push people so much before they turn and fight back.
Wonder when we'll see Bill Gates get his just desserts? That worthless dirt bag isn't just terrorising a small town, he's terrorising the world.
Matthew Godwin what in the world are you talking about?
Or they elect them POTUS
Ryan Sedy no he isn’t. He’s spent billions helping healthcare, education and fighting poverty around the world. How do you figure that he’s worthless? How many other billionaires have done that?
@@rangerider51 wow...
Been catching up on your older episodes, good stufff.
This was great. Thanks for updating us.
I read the book. Based on that, he bloody well deserved it. His lawyer was as guilty as McElroy was.
Agreed. Gotta hand it to the towns people. The shooters are most likely dead now but everyone knows. They stuck together. The pastor wouldn't say anything either✊
The lawyer was complicit in getting him off.
Just the short clip of the interview with the lawyer you could tell he was a winner
Did you know that Daryll McFadden was a lawyer for the KC mob?
Yup! Terribly evil lawyer
If he was messing around with a child. The town had every right to do what needed to do to protect the their children.
he married his wife when she was 14 or younger
@@shardsofteeth That wasn't shocking or rare back then.
Not making a defense, stating a fact.
That,s true. But the other town children were off limits. 14 years is to young. I blame the parents for that not the child . It makes me wonder what kind of parent would let their child marry a man like that .
He would carry a rifle and actually shot someone, and nothing happened to him. Lifetime has a movie, Brian Keith played him.
That is not what this was about.
Thank you for doing this video. I was curious to see what the town is like now.
Self defense in my eyes. It was either him or them, a man like that never gives up till he is stopped. It's happened worldwide, but it does not always hit the papers, but people know. It happened that a gangster was walking down a country road ran over died at that spot in my hometown in the 70s, I was a kid at the time but I remember it well. They never caught the driver apparently.
My only complaint is that it didn't happen years sooner. You need to remove a turd when it starts to stink and this guy stank way too long.
I heard you eat them with queefies early in the 'morn.
He got out of the car and shot himself in the front seat. How hard is that to understanding?
exactly
Yes he fell on the gun as he was getting off his horse thats what happened 🤣🤣
Makes sense to me.
For sure , the same way Epstein killed himself
Worst case of suicide I ever seen.
I remember when this was national news, and later reading "In Broad Daylight" when it came out. You've obviously researched your subject very well...something that is a rarity with true crime CZcamss in my opinion. Thank you very much!
Interesting story. Really do enjoy your videos, and how deep your willing to go in bringing history to us all. Thanks very much. ✌
It sounds like the town's act was one of desperation, not "cold-blooded murder."
Pure justifiable homocide. "I was in fear for my life, your honor".
"Case dismissed".
@@DefiantSix yup
This shouldn't be called a murder, but a town deciding to right a wrong.
Absolutely CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not a Lawless Society and it's against the Law to take things into your own Hands

What a great video. Thank you!
I bet everyone slept good that night. No more being afraid of a bully.
Ken McElroy- "had it coming" award of the century.
Years ago I worked for a well connected bully that threatened and intimidated most everyone around him. Luckily for me due to my physical presence he treaded lightly. I actually had multiple coworkers approach me asking me to hold him down so they could kill him. I told them to a person to keep a written log of his threats. One day a corporate vice president overheard the bully talking. A dozen employees were questioned about the bully. All twelve had done as I suggested. Within the week his reign of terror was history.
Same thing happened to a friend of mine. Her bully was a manager with a unhealthy "advantage" at her place of work. Because of her refusing his unwelcome "attention" she was fired. I learnt from her that she was actually third of his victems. I advised them to not walk away, but stick together. Most of the time there will be someone his senior, willing to do a little investigating. Bully eventually got fired and she was able to return to her work.
“..home to one of the strangest unsolved murders.. maybe ever.”
It isn’t that mysterious, honestly.
Guy fucked around and finally found out.
It wasn’t “murder”, it was SELF DEFENCE from a rapist, attempted murdered several times. He shot people and NOT punished.
;;; and his last name is not Clinton---
Arson, theft of livestock, how was he not in jail?
Yes
He.Was Eventually Pumished !!!!
By The Peoples None Court
Apointed Jury !!!!
Vihilante Justice !!!
Old West Style !!!!
Thank The People For True
JUSTICE !!!!!
F. G. D.
If someone is sitting in their car and you shoot them that's not self defence. This guy deserved what happened to him but don't twist meanings to fit with the story.
The bully's wife and children were probably victims to his violence too.
I was thinking the same thing, given the wife didn't see anything either
@@glenchapman3899 yep, he had 2 wives living with him and they were both children when he moved them in his house, they feared him too. Trina sued the town after the murders then moved away with her kids. She died young.
@@lubabe9969 one reason she moved is because they burned her out. She tried suing the town. I think they wanted her and her kids gone.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......the kid maybe
Yes they tried to escape numerous times.
When I was a kid, my dad told me that a town had a bully. He told me that one day, everyone got sick of the bully. My dad told me that the town killed their bully. But he never told me the name of the town or anything. Earlier today, 10 years after my dad told me that I thought of that story for a moment. Just briefly, nothing more than a few seconds. The first time I thought of this since he told me.
And then this showed up in my recommended a few hours later. I didn’t come looking for this. But I think it found me
I mean... Was your father from Skidmore or not?
Outstanding video mate. I would’ve loved to of been a fly on the wall listening into the conversations after that man’s murder. The thing is whispered in dark places among those who knew the truth. I wonder if his wife continue to live in the town or did she move on?
Well, the law wasn't doing anything to stop the guy from terrorizing the towns people. They had to stop him themselves cause even the police were afraid of the guy.
Babylon falling Only if you agree to do the same to the proud boys and the klan

philonetic Whatever you say /pol/
ps, there has been no individual liberty since the patriot act was passed
something both segments of the corporate party support
The bully caused hell and caused terrior for years and the law in forcement didn’t do anything. The town fixed it themselves.
Rumor has it that the sign outside of Skidmore reads, "Welcome to Skidmore, the home of the largest pool table on earth." I think EVERYONE was under the pool table, so it had to be a mammoth sized thing. Ken Rex was not murdered. He was stopped by SOMEONE after the law refused for years to stop him, and to that someone I would only say, "Good job!" You know you are a bad dude when a dozen or more people see someone put an end to you and NO ONE is willing to say a word. When this happened, I think maybe the state police and even the FBI went to Skidmore because they were going to show those small-town Barney Fifes how a REAL lawman conducts an interrogation. To their chagrin, they got nowhere!
For years Ken Rex had threated to take the life of anyone whose testimony sent him to prison, and he was not prosecuted because everyone was afraid to testify against him. The town had FINALLY got some people who were brave enough to testify against him and as a result he was found guilty and was supposed to be going off to prison for a decade or so, but his lawyer filed an appeal and even got him freed while the appeal worked its way through the courts. He was found guilty of attempted murder and to the stunned disbelief of the townspeople who had been present at the trial, he made it back to town before they did.
The townspeople felt they had no other option. They TRIED to do things the legal way but thanks to Ken Rex's shyster lawyer he ALWAYS got away with whatever he did. Of course, his lawyer is upset at what happened to Ken Rex. KR was probably 90 percent of his business and Ken Rex never had any trouble paying the lawyer because if he was running a little short, he would just go steal something else and sell it for whatever he could get for it. Allegedly, once he even had the audacity to steal a man's hogs one night and then show up bright and early the next morning and offer to sell the man HIS OWN HOGS back!
Back when this happened my husband said of Ken Rex, "He was extremely dangerous because he was evil enough to think of the most heinous things to do and he was stupid enough to go ahead and do them." I think that pretty much sums up Ken Rex.
This was outstanding. Thank you.
The real definition of murder is the shedding of innocent blood. His blood was not innocent. So quit saying murdered.
Actually murder is defined as unauthorized killing.
@@cherylmcelveen2817 currently you are correct but Webster's originally was not. Definitions change with the times, like cool or the one word that just about stands for everything and that's the word fuck. If you think about it who authorizes murder to begin with.. It could be anyone you forfeit power to..
@@regprofant6984,
Simply put, "Misdemeanor Homicide"...
@@BobbyTucker correct we keep forfeiting our right by those in the legal system who keep changing the meaning of words. Legal= who lawyers practice the art of lying . We are gradually being screwed out of everything we believed and owned by those who manipulate everything, from history, mathematics, law,and on and on. Ignorance is not bliss.
Apparently it was authorized by everyone in town
Sounds more like a community service than a murder. I can't imagine some dude being that aggressive and not be checked by another man. And look.. he got checked, by the whole town. Good job.
People can only take so much until they snap!!!!! In this case, it was the whole town!!!! And after that, they all kept their mouths shut!!!!! Shows you how close knit the town was!!!!!
Please respect the people of Skidmore I went to church with them and I grew up with the kids there and it was 21 charges facing the 22nd charge in August of 81
Interesting video! I personally like that nobody said anything. It shows that this man was a danger to society. Sometimes doing the wrong thing is the right thing
Good old fashioned justice.
👍👍👍
@Kerry Howard yeah Kerry is called a tiger with no teeth, Oh Oh Oh I forgot we got the Patriot act, apparently that's only meant for civilized intelligent human Beings.
Yes
Kerry Howard so innocent people who don’t share the same political and social views as you deserve to be gunned down. Okay Gestapo
Old fashioned frontier justice
Seems like the bully killed himself using the townspeople.
He had to Hate himself , how sad.
The townsfolk did Right !
Death by townspeople, exactly.
Suicide by Townfolk
@@LunaErosStudios You took the words right out of my mouth!
Suicide by society.
Great job. Youre one of the few vloggers, podcasters to have the facts correct!!
The town didn’t murder anybody. They restored the peace.
I remember that case. I lived KCMO at the time. I remember town people would say FBI put under cover officers in town to get people to talk no one ever did. We looked at the town people as heros.
I’m from Joplin, in the SW corner of the state. I remember this event very well; I was late teens, early 20’s. It seemed like the man got what he asked for.
@@camsgrammy I live in Stockton, Missouri now.
Agree. There was always Justice one way or another in little towns.
I read about it in Playboy magazine! "High Noon in Skidmore"! Later I worked several years in the Missouri Department of Corrections! I met inmates who claimed to be one of Ken Rex McElroy's children! I wouldn't claim that though!
@@charlescampbell3895 LOL l have ran into a lot of grown ups having the same father here in Missouri. My half brother had four other siblings by different women here that found in a DNA test.
@@charlescampbell3895 There was a good mini documentary on paid TV about this and they interviewed one of the thugs children. A son. He looked like you would expect him to look. Interesting thing about the children of thugs... they NEVER blame their parents for breeding kids that they couldn't afford.
This guy was more than a "bully" the way it sounds. Frankly, law enforcement failed a lot of people here, and they took action as a result, and I can't really fault them for doing so.
Agree 👍🏼
TOTALLY AGREE, I think that sex offenders who harm children should be exicuted. God knows that being a kid and getting molested definitely is going to change the kid big time and they will be completely different.
The courts failed. He was arrested and charged many times. Cops don't sentence people, just catch them.
Exactly!!!
The townspeople should've gotten a ticket for littering. Leaving that trash on the ground...
I just discovered your channel. Great content
Excellent Video, Thank You
To me, it's crazy to be upset over this man's death as opposed to failing to protect a town full of victims. And freeing this bully's family.
Just saying, the wife had ample opportunity
So the man had a family he had a mother and a father he had a family and you can't take the law into your own hands that's vigilating Justice and that's not what we're about that whole town became corrupted and sick there are many things to do besides kill a man
@@fearlessEm Totally agree.
I'm tired of the internet glorifying a town killing a man and teaching a generation of children that it's okay to kill a man I understand that this man did some nasty things but it is not okay to kill a man and that man had a family too and they was witnesses to that man's death so you all are lying the whole town killed him the whole town witnessed it so shut your f****** mouth you're all lying 40 years later and glorifying the death of a man it's sick it's repulsive shame on you for teaching a generation of children to kill
@@fearlessEm The Bible condones murdering others under some conditions. Scriptures command us to rise up against evil, push it back to the gates o hell to defend the victims. To enact laws, rules, regulations, boundaries, consequences. To do what is right and Just, to restore what was stolen from others. This man that you are in such defense about killed in many, many ways hundreds of people even though he left their bodies alive. I think many people feel that your approach is teaching a generation of children that we are to bend over and let evil rule. That no one counts but the predator/abuser. That the rights and liberties of the evil & wicked far outweigh & count where they themselves do not count. That our only solution is to let evil triumph. I'm sorry but if anyone has to die I'd rather it be those who are like this man. Like those who are like Hitler, Mengele and so many millions of people are today.

They go missing around here, too!
Old, dried up wells come in handy sometimes.
